Former world champion turned commentator Jacques Villeneuve is positive that, of last year's two title contenders, Fernando Alonso is the better.
The French Canadian said he has no doubt Spaniard Alonso will be in the championship hunt this year as well.
"Ferrari will probably be better than last year, and Fernando always brings out something even more. He is definitely the best driver," he told AS newspaper.
Told that Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel is arguably the best, because he is the reigning triple world champion, French Canadian Villeneuve shrugged his shoulders as if to say 'so what?'.
"Vettel is nothing like Alonso or Hamilton. He is a product of the team, and it is the team (Red Bull) that is the best."
Asked if he thinks Alonso deserved the 2012 title, Villeneuve answered: "It's obvious isn't it?
"He has two titles but Schumacher should have ten. This is a very complicated sport and there are many factors in play."
